The NFL will not discipline the Philadelphia Eagles over their handling of quarterback Jalen Hurts’ blood clots, according to an Associated Press report citing a person familiar with the situation.
The league said Tuesday that its officials had remained in contact with Eagles medical personnel and the Cleveland Clinic in London during Hurts’ treatment. It added that NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills arranges medical resources in international markets with NFL Players Association approval, while clubs coordinate player care with independent doctors.
Hurts took a cleat to his left calf during Philadelphia’s Oct. 4 game against the Los Angeles Rams and informed the Eagles’ medical staff of the soreness on Oct. 8. An ultrasound in London later detected what was initially described as a superficial clot. Doctors determined he could play against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Oct. 11, and he completed 21 of 40 passes for 220 yards and a touchdown in a 19-17 loss.
After the team returned to the United States, a follow-up ultrasound showed movement in the clot. The Eagles ruled Hurts out against the Carolina Panthers and placed him on injured reserve. Tanner McKee started Philadelphia’s 25-14 loss to Carolina.
The Eagles and Hurts’ agent, Nicole Lynn, said Monday that he has deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli, meaning the clot traveled from his leg to both lungs. Hurts is clinically stable and expected to recover fully, but he cannot participate in football activities while taking blood thinners. ESPN reported that the treatment is expected to keep him out for at least three months and likely the remainder of the season.
